I have always be taught that the only way to success is through hard work and persistence. Whenever I am working on something I do it to the best of my ability and I take great pride in it.

One person that I admire because of his life of service and compassion for his community is St. Francis of Assisi. Throughout his life he emphasized the importance of service, and giving to others, especially those who are neglected and mistreated by society. Ever since I was young, learning about his life and legacy has had a huge impact on me. Community service is a big part of my life because I believe that as humans it is our duty to help out those who are less fortunate than us. Once a week I volunteer at the City Team in Chester, PA. There I assist the kitchen staff and help prepare food and dining areas for their weekly patrons. I really enjoy spending my time there because I get some peaceful time reflect on myself and my life.
